John Thomas Looney

John Thomas Looney, South Shields 1870 - Swadlincote 1944. Born into a Methodist family in the north of England, Thomas Looney was first drawn to an ecclesiastical career and sought to found a Church according to the teachings of Auguste Comte. After a founding failure, he refocused on his profession as a school teacher, and devoted his life to Shakespearean studies. His solidly argued theory on the true identity of the so-called "Shakespeare" still gives him today a deserved recognition.
